Help with closed phones

Hi this is my first post and i need help choosing phones.

I have an HD555 that to me are almost perfect, but my colleagues at work keep on complaining about the sound leak so i was trying to find the same sound in a closed design. I have already try the Denon 1001 and i like them but they have a lite more bass to my. For now i think that the HD448 (it would be my first choice, but some posts hate them) but i would buy any other brand to the amount of 150 dollars. Can some one help me? Thanks in advance.

PS: sorry for the bad english, but i am portuguese.

maybe the DJ headphone route wouldn't necessarily be the right .... avenue, but i'm thinking, Equation Audio RP21, Shure SRH750, maybe the Ultrasone HFI route.

I have think also of the ultrasone 450 or even the AKG K 172, any experience with them? The main problem is that i have to buy them online because in Portugal if isn't Phillips or HD201 you can't try them.

I've got the Ultrasone HFI-550, and they're very capable headphones. Overall great sound with emphasis on bass, which has great punch. Isolation is above average and they don't leak unless you listen at unreasonable (and unhealthy) volume levels. They usually appear at eBay for $100 - $150, and you can also get the Alienware OZMA 5, which are rebranded HFI-550, for around $90.
